Mckayla Arroyo · Answer 1

C. 32cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b x h

Given both the base and height as 8cm each

Area = 1/2 x 8 x 8

= 64/2

= 32cm^2

Cross · Answer 2

32cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 X b X h

b = 8

h=8

1/2 X 8 X 8

= 4 X 8

= 32cm
